MGR/Blues4you « Peavey Triumph 60 »
Published on 09/25/07 at 15:00Professional for over 20 years , covering everything from blues to country to rock .
Have used this amp for as many genres as you can shake a stick at , and it has always come through with flying colours .
Bought sometime during the 90's for about £550 from Dawsons . At the time , it was a similar price to most high end Fenders and Marshalls , but it sounded so much better in the testing booths , and when it was cranked up on stage , it really had a lot of charachter .
Big sounding amp , capable of playing any style , and independant of effects pedals .Nice cleans , smooth overdrive .
The clean is a very nice sound , and has a clean boost switch / bright switch which can be useful . The 2 dirty channels are crunch and Ultra , and these can be combined for rythm playing , and lead , in either channel . Very nice pleasing distortion when cranked .
This amp is also a monster when cranked , but can hold a tone at low volumes too , which makes it ideal for smaller gigs and practise .
It is quite heavy for a single speaker combo , but rugged .
In over 15 years , it has only had 1 fault with a wire , which was easily rectified .
Would prefer it to be point to point hand wired with gold , but I guess thats asking a bit much
Construction excellent as always by Peavey .
No issues whatsoever , and the black tolex still looks like new .
This amp should be a future classic , and can be picked up quite cheaply second hand . One of the best amps i've had .
